For when an Arcadia is too big or to expensive, but you still need some platform to refuel or repair, this small installation should be what you need.




Obviously still a WIP. The Platforms haven't been touched that much yet, but I'd thought its good enough to be shown off to get reactions. This would have something like 5 or so docking points, and a fighter bay could carry about 12 fighters. Maybe more.

This is is a quick size comparison of the installation with an Arcadia and a Satis.

Now that's a really nice variation on a theme there, I'm impressed!

[Taristin]

I like.





Make an HTL Arcadia now, too.

[Axem]

Well bug Vasudan Admiral about that. He claimed it.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Now that is a very cool little model. Awesome.

(and yeah - the HTL Arcadia's deck area is complete, but the main hull is going to be tougher - I don't think it'll pop up too soon )

[Taristin]

Oooh. Forgot about yours.   Absolutely adore the last pic with all of those ships docked.

Question: What will it be called?

*suggests GTI Asteria*

Asteria: The daughter of the Titan Coeus and Phoebe. She was abducted by Zeus, but hurled herself in the sea and became the island of the same name.

An island in the void of space... seemed somewhat appropriate.

Secondary suggestion, Hestia.

[Axem]

Yeah, I like the appropriate name. And so this installation shall be called the GTI Asteria.

Nice   can't wait to see it finished

Makes a good research outpost, or base orbiting something "minor" like a planetoid.

I hope its SCP compatible as well...

And by the way, is it smaller than the Arcadia?

Obviously you didn't check out the linked image at the beginning of Axem's post.

Doh! I'm so dumb! Probably wasn't concetrating.

And the title says it all...!

[Axem]

Asteria hungry. Want yummy freighters full of meatbags.

[Flipside]

Shivans are crunchy and full of energy

[Unknown Target]

Awesome, great concept and model

[Mobius]

Wow...
Are you going to make some extensions? I love the Arcadia extensions of INFA and I think there's a possibility to make them compatible with the Asteria..... Is the "hole" at the center of this Station big like the Arcadia's?

[Axem]

I haven't played Inferno so I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

And you can see a size comparison of the Asteria and the Arcadia in my first post. The Asteria's hole is a bit smaller than the Arcadia's. You probably won't be able to fit a cruiser in there.

[Taristin]

He's talking about the addons that Sandwich made back in the day for the Arcadia. One being a giant engine pod, the other a beam cannon with reactor. They plug into the holes and are supposed to make the arcadia into a pseudo-warship (why, oh why? )

[Axem]

I see. Neat concept, though they sound a bit unwieldy to me. But since the hole is smaller, those things won't be able to attach.
